Michael Francis Craigh/Creagh/Craig from Charleville & Margaret Washington Brett Craigh (Freshford, County Kilkenny)
I am looking for any information on my great grandfather Michael Francis Craigh/Creagh/Craig and /or his familty. He was born in Charleville, County Corkin August 1867 andimmigrated to New York City in 1890. We know very littleabout his family in Ireland except that his family wereRoman Catholics from Charleville and according tohis New York death certificate dated 26 April 1905, his father's name was James Craigh and his mother's name was Ellen Dohany(?) Craigh.. He became a US citizen on July 17, 1895 and married Margaret Washington Brett (born: April 1870, Freshford, County Kilkenny) on September 8, 1895 in New York City. They livedin New York City, where he was a street laborer,and had 4 children, James (1896), Mary Ellen (1898), Michael (1900) and Thomas John (1902) until his death from TB in 1905. Shortly after his death, Margaret moved her young family to Greenwich, Connecticut where she raised her family and remained until her death in May 1962.
